Foreign coin from half dollar roll- can someone id?

[mountainman 2]

Found this interesting coin in one of my boxes today. It's non magnetic and same size as a half. Edge is reeded. Anyone know what it is, what it's made of and when it was struck? Thanks, MM2

the date looks to be 1992 or 1995 need a better shot of reverse

It was not minted in 1995. The "coinedformoney" link said that this coin is either 1916 or 1917.

The date is islamic so it is probably 1395 in the way you see it.





i see 92 as the last digits on the date i can not see the first two

The link I posted mentioned 1335.

Hey guys this is Man from CoinedForMoney.com, thanks for the visits.

The reverse was upside down, I corrected it and added the date indicator.
The image shows where I think the year is, it reads ٦ which is 6 which according to the calendar can be 1334 or 1335 depending on the month.



Cool forum.

I would place the date as 1334 according to the 4 characters directly below the temple (?) door. 1334 in Arabic computes to 1915 in the Gregorian calendar so I would say your coin is from 1915.
